History of Oni:

To know the history of Japanese Oni Mask, first, you need to know the Oni itself. Oni are a type of yōkai, or Japanese monster. While there are many different types of Oni, they generally share some common characteristics. They are typically fierce, violent, and crude creatures that enjoy causing mischief and mayhem. They are often portrayed with red faces and horns and are said to be capable of causing great destruction. They are often portrayed as brutish and violent creatures, but they can also be seen as symbols of strength and power.

The masks themselves are thought to have originated in the Heian period (794-1185 AD). They were first used in religious ceremonies, where they were meant to represent the demons that threatened humanity. However, over time they came to be used in a variety of different contexts. They can be found in theater performances, as well as in the decorations of temples and shrines.

Today, Oni masks are popular items for collectors and tourists. They can be found in many different styles and colors, and are often used to decorate houses during the New Year. They are also popular items for cosplayers and Halloween costumes.

The Legend of the Oni:

There are many tales of Onis in Japanese Folklores. "The Legend of Oni" is a Japanese musical play about two Onis. Before Samurais finally took over the country, all the nobles were fighting for power in Japan. There was a noble named Nagamichi and his son's name was Ibuki. They were both fighting for power and they turned their hearts to an Oni. Nagamichi stayed human but his heart was turned into Oni's heart while Ebuki completely turned into an Oni because of the grudges he held against his father.

The legend has a great message that we all have an Oni inside us and it's a matter of how we control it to become a better person.

Red Oni Who Cried

This is a story of two Onis, the red and the blue who were friends. The red Oni wanted to be friends with the humans but he couldn't because humans were afraid of Onis. The blue Oni knew what Red Oni wanted and started destroying the houses of humans knowing that the red Oni will have to save them from him. When the humans saw red Oni saving them from the blue Oni, they thought that the blue Oni was bad and they became friends with Red Oni. When Red Oni went back home to his friend, the blue Oni was gone. Then the Red Oni cried because he understood what blue Oni had done for him.

The traditional Japanese Oni mask has a long and fascinating history. The masks' designs vary from region to region, depending on the particular myth or spirit they are meant to represent. In Japan, there is a rich mythology surrounding these powerful demons.
